That was the tagline from a 1988 miniseries by Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson. An energy being named a Zarolatt comes to Earth to warn Earth's heroes about an invasion by evil energy beings named Macrolatts. To interact with corporeals, he possesses the corpse of a man named Walter Langley. The action involves Superman, the then current roster of the Justice League, and of all characters, Nuklon (later Atom Smasher of the JSA). He exploded at the end of the series , but returned in 2006 in the Mystery In Space Miniseries written by Starlin. I try to do interesting characters, and Weird is that. I made him out of a spare classic Trek McCoy. The arching eyebrow just reminded me of Weird's face. I had to paint the "stinkeye" in. I painted the boots and hands, and threw together the hood and costume. In one of those "you don't have to hit me over the head" moments, I realized while doing this guy that the whole energy alien possessing a dead body thing was already done by Halo of the Outsiders. Imitation is the sincerest form of comics.
